These operations will take place at Safran Landing Systems’ MRO center based in Gloucester, Safran Landing Systems Services UK.
Bruno Chiarelli, Executive VP MRO, Safran Landing Systems: “Gulf Air is a very important customer for the MRO Division of Safran Landing Systems and by awarding this contract to our Gloucester facility, for six A321 and one A320 landing gear shipsets over the next five years, Gulf Air has confirmed its confidence in the quality and performance of our network.”
